Cholesterol is needed to make hormones. Without it we would not produce estrogen, progesterone or testosterone. It is vital for the functioning of nerve synapses and provides the structural integrity for our cell membranes. Cholesterol is used by the skin to help prevent water evaporation and to make our skin waterproof. Vitamin D is synthesized from cholesterol. And bile, used for fat digestion, consists mostly of cholesterol. The liver produces about 90 percent of the cholesterol in our bodies; only 10 percent comes from diet. If we eat too much cholesterol, the liver decreases the output of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring lipid. This means it is a type of fat or oil and it is in fact an essential component in creating and sustaining the membranes of the cells of all bodily tissues. So this alone means we need cholesterol to survive! Most of the cholesterol that is found in our bodies is actually naturally manufactured within our own cells. However there is also an additional contribution that we get from external 'nutritional' sources - the foods we consume. In a typical diet providing around 400mg of cholesterol per day from food sources, about half to two-thirds of this amount is actually absorbed through the process of digestion. The body will normally secrete about a gram (1000mg) of cholesterol per day into the bile via the ducts, and approximately three-fifths of this is then re-absorbed. There is a lot of controversy whether or not there really is good and bad cholesterol. Most of this was copied from an article I read from preventdisease.com

The Bottle states they are 2000 IU so they are the same. I just asked my Nutritionist at work and she explained to me that there are different types of Vit D. There is D2 and D3 she said the D3 is the one to take. There are different dosages 1000, 2000, 3000, and 5000. Some go even higher according to her. She states 2000 is a good starting point as an adult needs more than a 1000 a day. So this is a D3/2000 the 2000 is the IU count.

Chris if you are allergic to soy you might want to stay away from this product. Below is part of an article from WEBMD. Cholestoff has Plant sterols. Eventhough they don't come out and say it--it probably does have soy in it. I hope this helped a little.Plant sterols and stanols are substances that occur naturally in small amounts in many grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Since they have powerful cholesterol-lowering properties, manufacturers have started adding them to foods. You can now get stanols or sterols in margarine spreads, orange juice, cereals, and even granola bars. Chris if you are allergic to soy you might want to stay away from this product.

I am a physician with a personal interest in Vitamin D research, here's the skinny: There is only one form of prescription vitamin D- ergocalciferol (D2) 50,000 IU. This product is cholecalciferol (D3) 50,000 IU and is not chemically identical. There is strong evidence, however, that the OTC form (D3) is superior to the Rx form (D2) in both absorption rates and sustained effect. In addition, the Rx form (D2) is not what the human body creates on it's own, it makes D3. While both will raise the total level of Vit-D-25-OH tested on vitamin D blood assays, only the OTC D3 form significantly raises the naturally formed isomer of D3. I know of no research that investigates whether elevated D2 levels have the same health benefits as are seen with elevated natural D3 levels. Ergocalciferol was grandfathered in as a drug by the FDA in 1940 when they started regulating medications, and has been used since out of habit. Most doctors are not well educated on this subject and prescribe the Rx form as it is the only formulation able to be prescribed, and because it is dogma. In short, this OTC form of cholecalciferol D3 is better absorbed, longer lasting, cheaper, more accessible, and a match to naturally produced human vitamin D analogues. It can be safely substituted for ergocalciferol D2 prescribed by your doctor.

There isn't a nutritional label on the product, I figure if you are eating cheddar cheese powder the last thing you should worry about is sat. fat or chloresterol!!

The label on the back says vitamin D as cholecalciferol. Cholecaciferol is vitamin D3. Here is a link of information on it which may be helpful. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-6152-Cholecalciferol+Vitamin+D3+Oral.aspx?drugid=6152&drugname;=Cholecalciferol+(Vitamin+D3)+Oral I am not a doctor or representative of the company. We just take this supplement to boost immune function because we live in the very cold Northern country.

There's 24 (A,C,Calcium, Iron, D, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B, Folate, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorous, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Cholride, Isoflavones, and Plant Steroles) vitamins and minerals in this stuff. My doctor recommended these to help balance out my body chemistry and to assist in weight loss. When I follow his advice, it of course works. I feel great when I'm on them, but they aren't cheap. Still, being sick is more expensive than spending (not an unreasonable amount of money) on a product that works. With all this healthy ingredients, both the vanilla and chocolate taste great.

As listed on the label, it contains Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol); Microcrystalline cellulose; gelatin capsule (Kosher and Halal certified). I'm not a health care professional so I won't recommend dosing suggestions. However, I will say that different medical conditions will influence how much a person should take and my dosing is significantly different than what was recommended by another reviewer. Your physician can check you Vit D levels with a simple blood test to make sure you are taking enough, or to make sure you aren't taking too much.

Like I said in my post,I think it is tribulus. I had it analysed in a chem lab and they said it was. I had been using the product,i.e,.sd-200, for a couple of years with good results and then out of the blue my last order recieved around March didn't look the same (lighter color,finer granules) so I tested it by leaving it by a window for 12 hours and sure enough it clumped up. Note: remove from capsule to perform this test. Then I sent it to a lab and confirmed my findings. My attempts to e-mail Sam failed. I think its' the same old greedy bastard story. I would suggest that Pure Science Supplements has gone bad.

It says on the bottle Serving size 3 capsules a day Red Yeast Rice -1,200 mg. per serving Coenzyme Q10 30mg. per serving So imagine it means to get that amount in mgs. you would have to take 3 tab. a day (with meals preferably) I must admit I have not taken these faithfully. So can't say if it helps. I just went off my statin drug, because I heard so much bad about statins, so was going to take these. But keep forgetting to take them. Hope this answers your question.

In the concentration of EPA and DHA per pill. You want the highs mg per pill because its the actually Omega 3 content not the fish oil content that counts.

My bottle says best by 09/15. It's a sticker though, not printed on the bottle like other medications. So that thought definitely crossed my mind too. I couldn't take it for too long though since my stomach didn't feel good after.

Hardly anything. ProArgi is wonderful in any combination or flavor, etc will be sure to fit your needs as it has mine. I would also recommend check with your doctor before taking any supplement dependent on your condition.

Fat is: Total 2g (3% Daily Value), Saturated fat 1g (3% DV), Trans Fat 0gCholesterol is 60mg (20%DV).As for whether it's creamy, I'd describe it as smooth. It depends on how much water you choose to add to vary it, but I have stuck with the recommended 8oz. :-)

I take two tablets 1/2 hour before breakfast and again1/2 hour before dinner and have had no side effects and I am still taking it . My cholesterol levels have dropped, not as much as I would like but still they are on the way down which is good as I will not go on the medications prescribed for high cholesterol. too many risks for the liver and kidneys for me.
